She was promised bonuses based on theater sales, and told it would be released theater only. They then released it on both Disney+ and in theaters. So unless there's special clauses, they violated the contract to their (Disney's) financial benefit. In theaters, the movie has had less success of any of that era of the MCU.
Don't like either of them, but the context is important. Movie would have still flopped (though somewhat better in theaters than now). Most boring super in the MCU, released long after when the story took place in the MCU, and after the final ending of that era. Also released when USA movie sales suck.

Yeah, it made a lot of sense. I was rather glad to hear it.
When I first heard it come down, my reaction was the same as with the Womens Soccer Team. "You took the 'High Risk, High Reward' contract, and now that it bit you in the ass you cant just sue them over it."
But then I heard that the contract said that it was going to be theaters only, and that she had attempted to renegotiate the contract. And instead of even just giving a simple "Sorry, this is your contract. Sucks to be you." Disney reaction was to pull the ancient "New Phone. Who Dis?" tactic when she tried to talk with them.
But overall, win or lose. I dont really care. I am just going to sit back with a bucket of popcorn cheering on the monkey fight.

I am throwing in on her side as well.
